What is the Climate like in England?

in Britain

Contrary to popular belief, it DOES NOT rain every day in the England! However, it is always advisable to bring some type of waterproof

clothing(s) and keep yourself psychologically prepared! ;-))

Britain an island country and the surrounding sea gives England a varied

climate. We never know what the weather will be like from one day to the other. It can be sunny one day and rainy the next. As we have such a variable climate changing from from day to day, it is difficult to predict the weather.

The overall climate in England is called temperate maritime. This means that it is mild with temperatures not much lower than 0ºC in winter and not much higher than 32ºC in summer. It also means that it is damp and is subject to frequent changes. July is normally the warmest month in England. Around the coasts February is normally the coldest month, but inland there is little to choose between January and February as the coldest month.

Probably the best months to travel in England are May, June, September and October. These months generally have the most pleasant temperatures and less rain. July and August are the warmest months, but they are also the wettest. Seasons

We have four seasons -

Spring - March to May Summer - June to August Autumn (Known as fall in the US) - September to November Winter - December to February

In the winter, the temperature drops below freezing point. It is cold, wet and windy and it sometimes snows between December and March. In the mornings we have to scrape the ice from our cars. The temperatures rarely get much below 32°F/0°C.

In the summer, it can be as hot as 32°C (90°F)but mostly the temperature only reaches 26°C. The average high in London from June through August is around 70°F/21°C and the average low is around 51°F/12°C.

Different parts of Britain have different types of weather. Variations in the weather can be significant even within a relatively short geographical distance. There may be snow in Wales, but seldom in Chester. North:

Temperatures in the north of England tend to be lower than in the south. The further south you go the warmer it gets.

Northeast:

Northeast England, is the coolest in the country. Relatively dry all year. NorthWest:

Cool summers, mild winters, heavy rain.

South:

Southern England offer the best weather with mild winters. The south coast of England is the sunniest part of the country.

Southeast:

Southwest has more temperature variations with warmer summers and cooler winters.

SouthWest:

Warm summers, mild winters, rain all year especially winter

East:

East has less rainfall.

West:

Warm summers, mild winters, heavy rain. Most rain falls over the mountains in the west, especially Snowdonia in Wales and the Scottish Highlands.

The reason for Britain's weather being different North, South, East and West is because different air masses (wind) come from each direction as follows: North - Arctic very cold

East - Continental from Europe and Asia. The winds are cold and dry.

South - Tropical warm.

West - Maritime air has crossed Atlantic bringing cloud and rain. The winds are warm and wet.

RainFall

Rain is fairly well distributed throughout the year, with late winter/spring (February to March) the driest period and autumn/winter (October to January) the wettest. The Lake District is England's wettest region, receiving and average of 130 inches (330 centimeters) of precipitation each year. The western and northern hills receive about 40 inches (102 centimeters) of rain, while the east coast recives about 20 inches (51 centermeters).

Sunshine

During May, June and July (the months of longest daylight) the mean daily duration of sunshine varies from five hours in northern Scotland to eight hours in the Isle of Wight. During the months of shortest daylight (November, December and January) sunshine is at a minimum, with an average of an hour a day in northern Scotland and two hours a day on the south coast of England.
